Practising Immanence: Living with Theory and Environmental
Education makes creative contributions to both qualitative inquiry
and environmental education by exploring how each of these ideas
seep and fuse into one another; creating a space where methodology
becomes pedagogy, and where each of these is already always
environmental: indivisible with life. Clarke’s energising and
innovative approach offers a challenge to conventional research
practices and shows ways in which inquiry can be done differently.
Drawing on new materialisms, affect theory, and the practical
philosophy of Gilles Deleuze and Felix Guattari, the book details
the PhD journey of the author, merging stories and theory (and
stories of theory) in the production of eight ‘haecceities’ —
a philosophical concept which prioritises the thisness of a thing
or event. This move allows a novel methodological approach whereby
the haecceities act as sites of variation on the events of the
book: the self as unstable and posthuman; the environment as
everything (immanent) rather than as an overly romantic or a green
version of nature; and the tensions that these moves create for
ethical orientations in education, inquiry, and life in the
Anthropocene. Practising Immanence brings theory to life through a
diffractively critical style, and a unique approach to
environmental pedagogic practice. This radical and vitalising book
will be of interest to those inspired to explore environmental
problems and inquiry with each other; and to those drawn to
creative-relational, narrative, embodied, and post-qualitative
approaches to research.
